JUMP

It was a leap of faith or rather one of trust as we held hands tightly and jumped off the gigantic table. The floor beneath was pure marble. We should have died. We would have but we didn't. We landed albeit a little messily as we rolled for a bit but we weren't hurt and that was the main relief. I looked up to find the furry beast staring down at us as I pulled a wobbly Baekho to his feet and we started to run away.

Turning back a few moments ago before this predicament, we had just woke up to the same 'morning' and headed to the main hall. It was starting to be a habit, I guess. The alarm, the taking turns of getting ready and of course, Prism's weird antics the moment he appears.

"Cats! Welcome to the world of cats!" he said as we were teleported to a different place first instead of having to go through some form of lucky draw instead. The world was wack since I didn't quite now how to describe it. It looked just like a living room but it was huge. Everything was almost a hundred times larger than us or maybe even thousands. We were mostly struck in awe but the moment a scuttling sound echoed behind us, some started to shriek at the enormous cat that had hopped up the table. By comparison, we probably looked like mice to them. "Let the game of catch begin!"

"What the-"

"Run!"

Everyone started scattering across the table, running from the cat. We weren't able to coordinate our movements with the others as everyone was just running for their lives now. Baekho pulled me away from the crowd as much as he could until we reached the edge of the table. We turned around to find a ginger colored cat walking towards us and back to the present, we jumped.

Cats could jump from the simple height of the table, of course so we ran behind what seemed to the a huge basket to get away from it. Just from that alone, we were already panting heavily and slid down onto the ground.

"What the hell. He can't just do that..."

I sneezed and rubbed my nose. "Ah, crap."

"What's wrong?" Baekho asked me despite his own wheezing.

"I'm allergic to... Fur," I replied him and tried to hold back another sneeze.

"What?! How... Aren't we in a game? Your allergies shouldn't be affecting you."

I felt uncomfortable all over and tried not to breathe in too much but it was hard considering how much we ran. "Who said it wouldn't just because we are in a game?"

"Well... For starters, I would shit my pants if you made me jump from that height in reality."

"Except your fear for heights... Achoo- ugh... Doesn't seem to be affecting you while my nose is already runny," I whined. "Not to mention, if we did jump from such a height in real life, we would definitely die... So that can only mean... We shrunk and also we would still die achoo- hah! If we hadn't jump."

Baekho looked at me dumbfounded. The sound of footsteps made us both jump as more people ran to hide with us.

"We can't clump up with them, Baekho. The cats will sniff us out."

"Let's go then," he said and helped me up. I sneezed again before we started to run away. We yelped as a cat landed right beside us. We dodged it's paw right as it tried to grab us, running under it while it pounced on the other people. I glanced back and caught a glance of the people disappearing and only parts of their bodies fell down.

"Oh god," I gulped and picked up my speed despite feeling the stuffiness in my nose annoying me. Now isn't the time to let my allergies disturb me. "It's hard to breathe... Hah..."

"Come on, Minhyun. We can get away, just a little more," he encouraged me as we rushed towards another potential hiding spot. "Minhyun!"

"Wha-" He tackled me to the side just as a black cat pounced on the ground where we stood. I coughed and sneezed again, gasping for air.
